If you have moved to a new city or joined a fantasy football league, you may want to follow out-of-market games. Watching out-of-market games is trickier than watching local-area games. But still, there are a few ways you can do so.

- NFL Sunday Ticket: $70 – $99 per month. This package is specifically designed for people who want to watch out-of-market games. Its main downside is that it is not cheap
- NFL RedZone: $5 – $10 per month add-on. This is similar to NFL Sunday Ticket, but it only shows an out-of-market game when teams are about to score inside their opponent’s 20-yard line or reach the end zone
- Use a VPN: $4 – $12 per month. By using a VPN, you can spoof your location and pretend to be located somewhere else. For example, say you live in Boston. Normally, the only local-market games you can get are those featuring the Patriots, the local team of Boston. By using a VPN, you can spoof your location to, say, Indianapolis. That way, Colt games, games that used to be “out-of-market” to you, have now become “local-games” to you. This way, you can now watch Colt games on services such as CBS All Access or Yahoo! Sports App

NFL RedZone is a premium channel owned by the NFL. It is a game-day special that broadcasts on Sundays during the NFL regular season from 1 pm to 8 pm Eastern Time. It provides “whip around” simulcast coverage of all the Sunday afternoon regional games airing in-progress on CBS and Fox.
NFL RedZone provides look-ins of live games in which teams are about to score inside their opponent’s 20-yard line or reach the end zone, hence the name RedZone.
Unlike the coverages by CBS and Fox that are local-market games only, with NFL RedZone you get to watch out-of-market games, albeit only when the games are in scoring positions.
